    What is the average person even going to use an NPU for? There’s not a whole lot of useful things that can even be run on one.

      The fuck even is an NPU? Is it like a NUC? I guess at least the N in NPU actually means something but I still hate this.

      I use windows click to do all the time in work.

      I’m constantly being sent screenshots of tables with data in it that I can’t copy paste. (Side note, why take a perfectly searchable .csv and send me a screenshot of it???!!)

      The tool really is a game changer for my productivity.

      I sure as hell wouldn’t enable it on my personal computer though.

        Maybe you’re aware and it doesn’t fit your need, but in case not: there’s a snipping to ocr tool provided with PowerToys. Win+shift+T and select a zone, il ocr it and puts it in your clipboard. Good stuff. There’s also NormCap that does the same : https://dynobo.github.io/normcap/

        OCR exists and performs well with older hardware.

        Collecting your raw data isn’t enough for Microsoft so they might use your PC and power to process your data.
